"The Empress Dowager is right." Chang'an smiled, but she was not satisfied with Xu Mengyun in her heart. After all, this person was thinking about her man.
"Then, Madam Empress, if those three words of the Eastern Crown Prince were truly spoken to Chang'an, would you, as, as this young lady said, think about it as much as I do?"
Chang'an said this, blinking his eyes, tears in his eyes, clutching the empress dowager's sleeve. He didn't look pitiful, but rather aggrieved, which made people's hearts tighten.
"Oh my, my silly girl." The Queen Mother looked worried and pulled Chang'an to sit next to her. "According to you, Nan Bucheng can't talk to men? Who made this rule? I'll tear his mouth apart.
Besides, Chang'an is very good-looking, so it's normal for men to pursue her on the street. After all, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady."
Changan had tears in his eyes and was amused by the Queen Mother's words.
The corners of her lips were raised, and her tearful eyes looked beautiful and distressed. "That won't happen. After all, most people know that Chang'an is Princess Xuan. They definitely don't have the courage to do that. After all, Prince Xuan is very powerful."
To be honest, Chang'an looked at Bei Mingxuan, and out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see the anger in Xu Mengyun's eyes.
"This is my pride, and it is also my good fortune in this life to have Chang'an by my side." Bei Mingxuan held Chang'an's hand tightly in his palm.
"Seeing you like this." The Queen Mother smiled, "I am happy and feel at ease."
"Grandma Empress," Chang'an asked, "Why did you come here in person? If there's anything, just send someone from the palace."
Listen to Chang'an's words.
The Queen Mother deliberately frowned, "I was saying, you're back, but you didn't even bother to go to the palace to see the Imperial Grandmother? There's no other way, the Imperial Grandmother can only come to see you."
"...Uh..." Chang'an immediately looked like he was wrong. "Chang'an is guilty of not being able to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager in time. Please punish me, Empress Dowager."
He knelt on the ground and said this, without any intention of explaining.
Bei Mingxuan knelt on the ground and said, "It's my grandson, I'm tired from the long journey. Chang'an was going to the palace to see you and the emperor. But my grandson asked Chang'an to rest first and come back when he's refreshed, so that you won't see him and worry again."
"Oh, you two kids, can't handle a joke?" The Queen Mother stopped them. "Hurry, hurry up. Mengyun, go help him up."
"Yes." Xu Mengyun had a calm face and a smile on his lips.
She never imagined that the Empress Dowager would like Chang'an so much.
"The Empress Dowager knows you're tired, so she came out of the palace to see you." The Empress Dowager said, "Besides, Mengyun has returned.
Chang'an, you know Zichu. Mengyun has not seen her yet. She is Zichu's sister.
I have been in poor health in recent years and have been seeking medical treatment outside.
She came back specially for my birthday. It was also a filial piety on her part."
"Queen Mother, this is what Mengyun deserves."
"I'm delighted to see you," the Queen Mother said. "You haven't been back for so many years. Now that your cousin is married, it's a good opportunity to bring him here to meet Chang'an. I'm sure you and Chang'an will get along well."
"Yes." Xu Mengyun smiled and faced Chang'an respectfully, "Mengyun greets cousin-in-law."
But Xu Mengyun felt extremely uncomfortable. After all, the empress dowager was also her great-aunt. When she spoke to herself, she always called her "I", but when facing Gu Changan, she was the Empress Dowager?
Such a gap made Xu Mengyun feel very uncomfortable, and she disliked Chang'an even more.
"We are all family from now on, no need to be polite." Chang'an smiled peacefully, with joy and peace in his eyes.
Turning to look at Bai Lu, he said, "Go and bring the pair of jade bracelets that the prince gave you when you got married."
"Yes." Soon Bai Lu came with a light pink brocade box in her hand.
Changan took it, opened it, and placed it directly in Xu Mengyun's hand. "This was personally selected by your cousin. I heard that he spent a lot of effort to get it."
It is indeed top quality and looks very nice.
Full, moist and evenly colored.
Chang'an personally put the bracelets on Xu Mengyun's wrists.
At this time, Xu Mengyun looked at Bei Mingxuan with a smile in his eyes.
"I'm glad you like it." Bei Mingxuan looked at Xu Mengyun like a brother to his sister. "You've been away for so many years, and now you're back. If there's anything you're missing, just tell your cousin."
"Then, Mengyun will bother my cousin and cousin-in-law." Xu Mengyun had no intention of being polite.
"Xuan'er, Chang'an." The Queen Mother spoke at this time, "I came here for another matter.
Mengyun hasn't come back for so many years. Now there is no one in the Xu family, and there is no sign of that good-for-nothing Zichu.
The Empress Dowager thought, it would be better to let Mengyun live in your house temporarily.
After the Xu Mansion is repaired, let Mengyun move back to the Xu Mansion."
Chang'an looked at Bei Mingxuan obediently, then looked at the Queen Mother, "Chang'an listens to the prince."
at this time.
The Queen Mother then cast her gaze on Bei Mingxuan's face, "Xuan'er, what do you think?"
"If my cousin is willing, I, as her brother, have no objections." Bei Mingxuan said in a negotiating tone, "It's just... my cousin... is already of marriageable age after all."
"Cousin, you're joking." Xu Mengyun said immediately, "With my cousin and the Queen Mother here, I believe no one dares to gossip."
"So. Let's do it this way." The Queen Mother was in a good mood and decided the matter right away.
"Okay." Bei Mingxuan agreed directly.
"Hey!" Nangong Rui, who had been silent until now, spoke slowly, "This is putting the meat right under the noses of the jackals."
Chang'an glanced at Nangong Rui and thought to himself, this is... so appropriate.
In Xu Mengyun's eyes, isn't Bei Mingxuan just a piece of fat meat?
Chang'an didn't say anything either. He sat quietly on a chair beside him, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the people in the room as if he was watching a fun event.
The Queen Mother caught sight of Chang'an out of the corner of her eye and was quite satisfied with his behavior. With such appearance and patience, she was a good candidate to be the Queen Mother.
On the other hand, Xu Mengyun, although she is the daughter of the Xu family and is equally good, is weak and petty in front of Chang'an.
I thought to myself that if Bei Mingxuan could ascend to the throne in the future, it would be nice for Meng Yun to stay by his side and be his favorite concubine.
"Old Queen Mother." Nangong Rui didn't intend to let them get away with it. "Do you think what this prince said is right?"
The Queen Mother smiled at Chang'an and then slowly spoke, "Prince Nangong, how is the Southern Emperor now? When you return, please convey my good intentions to him."
Nangong Rui didn’t give him any face at all, “Whether our emperor is good or not also depends on his mood.
If no one competes with me, the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, for a son-in-law, I will naturally be happy.
If anyone dares to make me the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, I will feel unhappy.
I think, with my Southern Emperor's temper, I will definitely make sure to skin that man alive."
